Title: "Crimson Shadows" part 1
In a quiet, mist-laden town on the edge of an ancient forest, two figures from vastly different worlds find their fates intertwined.
Tae, a centuries-old vampire, lives a life of solitude in a crumbling mansion hidden deep in the forest. With piercing eyes that hold the weight of countless lifetimes and a charm as dark as the night, he has long since grown weary of his immortal existence. Tae’s heart, though cold, still aches for the fleeting warmth of humanity—a warmth he lost long ago.
Jungkook, a spirited young artist with an adventurous heart, moves to the town searching for inspiration. Always drawn to the unknown, he ventures into the forbidden forest one night, chasing the whispers of a mysterious figure he has painted countless times in his dreams—a man with sharp features and a gaze that seems to call out to him.
Their worlds collide when Jungkook stumbles upon Tae’s mansion. The encounter is electric, Tae’s predatory instincts clashing with the unexpected vulnerability Jungkook awakens in him. Jungkook, instead of fearing Tae, is mesmerized by the vampire's tragic beauty and the haunting loneliness in his eyes.
As Jungkook becomes entangled in Tae’s world, he uncovers secrets buried in the forest—ancient rivalries, forbidden love, and the reason for Tae’s self-imposed exile. Jungkook’s presence begins to thaw the ice around Tae’s heart, but it also stirs something dangerous within him: a hunger he struggles to suppress.
Meanwhile, the return of a powerful vampire coven threatens to destroy their fragile connection. The coven, led by a ruthless vampire who has a vendetta against Tae, sees Jungkook as a weakness to exploit. To protect Jungkook, Tae must confront his past and the monster he has tried so hard to bury.
In the end, Tae and Jungkook must decide: can love survive the shadows of eternity, or will their connection be doomed to fade like the light of a dying star?
